Members quartermainefan Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I wouldn't say there are no beats to the story, it is almost all beats and nothing else. It is like we just were given the headline for each item and then quickly on to the next item. It was just glossing over everything in rapidfire succession. It is the skeleton of a good story, it just needed more time--especially the Josslyn part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh don't you know? This will all be about how JASON saved Josslyn's life because JASON wanted her to have the kidney JASON talked to Lucky and Liz so JASON is to thank. Liz is just that calculating nasty bitch who REALLY wanted Josslyn to die because she's just SUCH a selfish ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I don't believe LW when she says she wouldn't have a problem being paired with Shawn. She was practically doing black flips to assure there was nothing romantic coming up between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members remos Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yes, but look at how many POV's are being expressed? We're used to having maybe 2-3 in any given episode or even story arc, but here we're having almost every main character involved in these tales with their own expression of pain/hope. I can't remember the last time this cast felt like a true ensemble. I also think fans are so victriolic about Carly and Jason that it's being overlooked how little they are on in this compared to other stories they've been in. Lucky has been getting tones of opportunities to speak. Liz has the major share yesterday and a huge part of the show today. And no matter how people feel about Liason/LnL2, Jake has THREE parents and always has. All three deserve the opportunity to grieve and to be shown doing it. As for Monica, Jake means nothing to her except a cute kid who may or may not have visited Tracy and Luke at the mansion. I'm sure she'll feel for the family but it doesn't involve her in any way.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thats what I thought. It was kinda tacky of them to do that knowing she wont be on. If she were at the hospital, I can just see her bumping into Jason seeing him distraught and inquiring about it. That would have made sense to get her involved for a segment or 2. I think its a mess with or without her staying. If anything her staying means they'd have more time to spend on this. They should have started the cancer storyline back in January and then go into Liz's part with the crash this month. Liz wasnt needed for the cancer stuff, but they could have tied her exit into it with the stuff playing onscreen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I agree. It would have been a nice touch. Despite the bumps in their relationship, Monica has always loved him. That would have been nice. A small scene where she was comforting him. And I still don't see why Tracy gets to know but Monica doesn't. I can understand Edward because he's old and lost a lot of people. But Monica should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members remos Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Monica doesn't even know Jake - she's got no interest in him. As for Monica knowing, what's the point? Another name on a crypt to visit? Another lost opportunity to think about? That's just cruel. The time for Monica to know was when Jason found out and Jake was still alive, not now.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I agree she shoud have known long, long ago. But I still think she has a right to know. And in a perfect world, we'd get to see Monica be hella-mad at Jason for not telling her. She'd feel empty and hit the bottle HARD. Now THAT'S a direction I would have liked to see this storyline take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 When Liz slapped Jason...I was like "Didn't you *want* him to stay out of Jake's life" But, then on the other hand. I'm glad she did slap him. Cause, he still had no business asking her for Jake's kidney! Let the woman grieve first. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yeah, everyone expects liz to be a-ok...Uhm her THREE YEAR OLD SON JUST DIED! Back the f*ck UP you organ harvesting vultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Monica stays mad at Jason maybe two eppys she forgave him quickerthanthis for being responsible for AJ and Emily's death on a real soap Monica would be brought into this whether she knew who Jake was or not is of no consequence for drama to occur. Guza won't have Monica do anything but kiss Jason's ass so it would never happen on this show. I'm a huge Monica (and AJ) fan and never liked how she was written re: AJ, Jason the pimp hand was just too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 On a more positive note, though... The pacing may be AWFUl. But the acting is really good. Becky has by far moved me the most. Followed closely by JJ. But even Laura Wright was FINALLY subtle in her acting. And I enjoyed her. Tony Geary and Jane Elliot also did very well, and they work well together as support-systems. Even JMB did well, and it was more in what Lulu DIDN'T say that got to me. However, I do wish Bobbie was there for her family. As well as Lesley and Audrey. We hear ALL the time about how Audrey is with those kids...But yet she wouldn't be there for Liz? We can reasonably assume Bobbie and Lesley have relationships with those kids...But yet Lesley isn't there for Lucky, and Bobbie isn't there for Lucky OR Carly? The pacing and the plot-holes are very glaring. But the acting has been good. I think this is the BEST acting Jason Thompson has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
